In N e w vfereey. New York, June 9.— W h ile turning a sharp corner at the foot of a steep hill, 20 riders in a five-m ile road race near Passaic, N . J.. ran into a big stone at the month o f a stone quarry, and every wheel was wrecked. That none of the riders was killed is extraordinary. Bixty cyclists had entered the con test, and by the time the steep h ill was reached 20 riders were bunched. They did not slow up for the hill, but dashed down at fu ll speed. A s they reached the sharp oorner they attempted to turn into the river road. The momentum was too great, however, and evety man lost control o f his wheel. A s the lead ers went down amid their wrecked wheels, their followers ran into them, amid the wildest confusion. A cry o f horror went up from the spectators on the hill, and several women fainted. H a lf a hundred men were soon at the scene of the accident, and the work of extricating the in ju r «] was began. Several of the riders were draggel out unconscious. George Peddv, of Lindhurst, was thrown 20 feet away, half dazed, between piles of stone, with a broken leg. He had been among the first to strike the obstruc tion. The stone which the leaders struck weighed fully 10 tons, and upon all sides of it lay b le «iin g and b ru is «l riders. Parts of wheels and racing suits were scatter«! all around. The men were freed from the wreckage and assist«! to a shed near by, where the spectators bound up their wounds. Peddy was the only one seriously hurt but none escap«! without some injury and many of them had to be taken home in carriages. F a t a l B o i l e r Kzplonlon. Mexico City, June 9.— A boiler ex ploded this m orning io the print works of Norcega Bros., in Puebla, causing the death of 60 or more persons, the number not being positively known, as it has been impossible to remove the debris caused by the explosion. A part of the boiler was carried high in the air, and precipitated on the roof of a house in the neighborhood, killin g an old man and three children. A n iron beam from the works was hurled through the roof of another house, car rying away a part of the front w all and balcony. A fireman three blocks from the scene of the explosion had his head completely torn off. Troops are now on the spot, and laborers are searching for the remains.

Just outside the Kogers W illia m s’ Park the roadway is quite steep. Trolley cars are in the habit of bowling down the incline at a high rate of s p e «l, and many cyclists have tried to beat them in races. Last evening when a car h e a d «l down the hill Lahiff was along side. H e was measured up by the mo- toruian for a race and th e«intest began in earnest. Suddenly Lahiff was seen to tumble and make a complete somer sault over his handlebars. He struck w ith great force while going at his fast est clip, and his peck was broken.

Hndeon, W ie., June 9.— F ive men were instantly killed and four were badly injured by a collision on the Om aha railroad near Hudson junction this afternoon. The trains were run ning at a high rate of speed, and a sharp curve afforded the crews no pos sible escape. The way freight, west bound, was running at the rate of 18 m iles an hour, when, upon nearing a sharp curve on a down grade, it came upon a work train backing east at a speed of 35 miles an hour. The oollision was something terrific. On the rear of the work train was the boarding car, in which were four men belonging to the work crew. They were never aware o f their danger, and were undoubtedly instantly killed. The car took fire, and three bodies were burned in the wreck. The fireman of the work train was instantly killed, but the body was recovered. Both engines were totally wrecked. The wreck was caused by the diso bedience of orders by Engineer*James Owens, of the work train, and the con ductor, who were given right-of-way for the west-bound track. They forgot their orders, and took the east-bound track, and did not discover their error nntil too late. Owens is nearly crazy, and a guard has been placed over him. T h e damage is estimated at $60,000. IN T O COUNTY Montana Settlers Fear the Wandering Cheyennes. M ANY OFF C e u a ljr A tto rn e y THE A g e n t H to n c h I .

Denver, C oL, June 8. — A special to the Rocky M ountain N e s s from Miles C ity, Mont., says: The rumor sent abroad that settlers were returning with their families to their homes is not true. A bout 50 families, refugees from the Indians, are still in this city, and others are coming in daily. A s many as seven and eight families are huddled together in one cottage w ith no thoughtof returning to their homes w hile the Indians are off their reservation. A school teacher, who had been teaching on Otter creek, near the reser vation, and about 60 miles from here, arrived last evening, having ridden the entire distance on a bicycle in one day. Hhe reports seeing several small bands of Indians prow ling among the hills on loot. Over 200 Indians are off the reservation, scattered in small bands roaming through the hills and commit ting depredations, an<l devouring every thing in their line o f march. There are said to be 1,300 Indians on the reservation. The dance houses donate.I to the Indians some time avo hy Cap tain Stouch and others, w ill be torn down and the large drum taken away , from them, and a ll “ bad medicine” made hereafter w ill have to be made in the open air. Sheriff G ib b and Stock Inspector Smith leave tomorrow for the scene of ’ the trouble, with warrants properly executed for the arrest of W h ite B ull, Y e llo w H air and Sam Crow. Sheriff G ib b says he is confident that Captain Stouch, the agent, w ill co-operate with hirn in the arrest of the men. The following message was sent to Senator Carter tonight by County A t torney T. J. Porter: “ Agent Stouch yesterday turned over Stanley, but he has not secured any evidence against him, and seems de termined to keep the sheriff from mak ing any investigation. Five other In dians are suspected, and vigorous efforts to securef evidence should be put forth. Stouch absolutely refuses to co operate with the sheriff in securing evidence, and is delaying ami thwart ing the sheriff in every possible man ner. Thursday he again ordered the sheriff’s deputies off the reservation. Indians claim to the sheriff that Stouch, agreed to accept the surrender of Stan ley in fu ll satisfaction of the murder. Stouch is certainly inefficient, and I therefore urgently request that he be immediately; in stru ct«) to co-operate with the sheriff in securing evidence against all these murderers and urge that he be replaced by some comiietenf man. ’’ Chicago, June 9 . - T h e T ribune’s special correspondence dated Havana, Cuba, June 2, says: Spain holds the rural population ol Cuba as prisoners of war in the prison campe. U nlike any other nation which claims to he civ.l zed she does not feed her prisoners of war. There is no means of learning the exact nnmber of coucentradoe. An American consul who has made ^ a careful study, says it is more than 25,- 000. The best opinion places the num ber between 190,000 and 200 , 000 . In not all places are they hemmed in by rities ditches and barbwire fences as at camp Florida, but they are everywhere under m ilitary guard. A n A p p e a l F rom M atan ra ., N e w York, June 9.— A special to the Herald from Havana says: A strange apjieal on behalf of the starving and dying concentrados in Matanzas, who excited pity in the hearts of General Lee and Mr. C al houn, has been made to the people of the United States. Since the United States government has begun measures for the relief of its citizens in Matanzas, the desperate plight of the Cuban reconcentrados there has resulted in a petition signed by a hundred of them, in which they beg in the name of common humanity that they may be included in thu charity. The petition is headed, “ An appeal to the U n it « ! States.” It is now on its way to Washington. The principal part follows: “ F irst and foremost, let it be said that in unhappy Cuba we can do nothing to help our suffering country men. The pacificos that have h u d d l«l in our city would be look«! upon as traitors for so doing, and as such we would be summarily dealt with. We must not feel for them; we must be blind and deaf to their sufferings, and do nothing that can in any way inter fere with W eyler’s policy of extermina tion. “ W e have to witness day after day scenes of horror which no language can describe, and yet no voice can be lifted to protest against them. To Spain we canrot appeal for succor. She is well acquainted with the present condition of affairs in Cuba, and so far not a farthing has come to us from her, and yet we have sent her our money freely whenever the Spanish people have been in want or distress. “ Upward of 10,000 of the victims of this savage system of warfare have been crowded into Matanzas without providing for their most natural wants; and after they have been compelled to abandon all they have in the world, they are to be seen in crowds, from 8 o ’clock in the day until late in the night imploring charity. " I n any other country this state of affairs would have brought on disturb ances and riot; yet our |>eople, suffer ing at they are, have not done anything that could in any way disturb order. Can there be a better illustration of a peaceful disposition? “ Tender, loving mothers of America, A BABY K ID N A P E D . to you in particular we ap]>eal in our humane undertaking.

Acting upon this advice, the execution w ill not take place as intend«!. Warden A u ll says that he has notified Worden, and lias had the gallows taken down. The law un der which Worden is (lermitted thus to extend his lease of life, the warden says, was passed by congress during the reconstruction days, in order to make it possible in certain cases to reach the federal supreme court over the head of the state courts in the South. If it were a matter, he says, in which the issue did not involve hu man life, he would probably test its legality, but in this case, as a state official, he will be governed by the ac tion of the attorney-general. A s the United States supreme court will not meet until October, Worden w ill have at least several months longer on earth.
